Abstract
The article looks initially at the policy context for the emergence of the Farm Business Advice Service (FBAS). The service is then compared to that o f Cumbria Farm Link, a regional farm business support agency established in 1997. This comparison enables the identification of omissions in the FBAS' s remit which may, if addressed, enable the service to respond more effecti vely to the needs of the farming community in the wake of the foot and mout h disease outbreak.
